Thou hast taken from our midst one who was very dear to many hearts now sorely stricken and distressed. Look upon them in mercy, and afford them that consolation Thou only canst bestow. As it was in goodness Thou gavest them this blessing, so, may they feel, in goodness Thou hast withdrawn the loved one from their sight. Help

us all to realize how short and uncertain our life is, and ever be in readiness to cheerfully obey the call to part with earth and earthly things. And when the gate of death is passed, may each of us, by Thine infinite merit, O blessed Saviour, enter into the mansions Thou hast prepared for those who love Thee; and with all the dear ones gone before, will we ascribe to Thee, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, the praise of our salvation forever and ever. Amen.

HYMNS.

MORNING.

ALL PRAISE TO THEE WHO SAFE HAST KEPT.

1 A

Tune from C. P. No. 2. L. M.

LL Praise to Thee, who safe hast kept,

And hast refresh'd me while I slept :
Grant, LORD, when I from death shall wake,
I may of endless life partake.

2 LORD, I my vows to Thee renew;
Scatter my sins as morning dew;

Guard my first springs of thought and will,
And with Thyself my spirit fill.

3 Direct, control, suggest this day,
All I design, or do, or say,

That all my powers, with all their might,
In Thy sole glory may unite.

4 Praise GOD, from whom all blessings flow;

Praise Him, all creatures here below;

Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;

Praise FATHER, SON, and HOLY GHOST. ΑΜΕΝ.

THE MORNING BRIGHT.

From G. S. & T. B. No. 54. C. M.

2 THE Morning bright,

With rosy light,

Hath waked me from my sleep;
FATHER, I own,

Thy love alone,

Thy little one doth keep.

2 All through the day
I humbly pray,

Be Thou my guard and guide;

My sins forgive,

And let me live,

Blest JESUS, near Thy side.

3 Oh, make Thy rest

Within my breast,

Great SPIRIT of all grace;
Make me like Thee,

Then shall I be

Prepared to see Thy face.

JESUS, HOLY, UNDEFILED.

3 JES

From the C. P. No. 4. 7s.

ESUS, holy, undefiled,
Listen to a little child;
Thou hast sent the glorious light
Chasing far the silent night.
